Drinking Chinese medicine will not directly cause smelly farts, but some Chinese medicines may cause discomfort in the digestive system, such as stomach discomfort or flatulence. These discomforts may lead to smelly farts. If you experience uncomfortable symptoms while preparing for pregnancy, it is recommended to consult a doctor or Chinese medicine practitioner to obtain correct treatment suggestions. In addition, the use of traditional Chinese medicine should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor or traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and should not be abused or used casually.
Does drinking traditional Chinese medicine during pregnancy cause bad odor?
Chinese medicine may cause some bad odors during pregnancy preparation, which may be due to the ingredients and special smell of Chinese medicine. Some traditional Chinese medicines may contain volatile components, such as sulfides, ketones, and alcohols, which are metabolized in the body and excreted through breath, sweat, and urine, causing the body to emit a special odor.
In addition, Chinese medicine will also produce some odors during the decoction process, especially some herbs with spicy or bitter taste.
However, everyone’s body constitution and response to Chinese medicine are different, so not everyone will experience bad odor during pregnancy. If you are worried about the impact of the odor caused by traditional Chinese medicine on pregnancy preparation, it is recommended to consult a doctor or traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to understand the specific traditional Chinese medicine formula and usage, and make adjustments according to your personal situation. In addition, maintaining good personal hygiene and eating habits can also help reduce the occurrence of bad odors.
